Yes, you can use a 4-pin connector instead of the 8-pin one required for the atx12v.

The problem I'm facing is that my PSU lacks an 8-pin connector for the CPU power or ATX12V, and when I connected two of the four, the fans worked but it failed to boot. After trying one, it started working, though I worry it might not provide enough power during gaming. Should I attempt connecting both again or leave it as is? I was concerned about potential damage from mismatched voltage requirements since they weren't clearly labeled.

What model does the PSU have? What is its age?

I got it in 2020, a Sonic GC 500 with 80 plus gold.

This power supply includes a 4+4 CPU connector. It isn't modular, which might mean you're missing something or only connect two pins.

They are these two, though their forms differ slightly and I'm uncertain.
